..Is there any solid documentation to support the belief that twenty shot strings are measurably more damaging than fifteen shot strings,thinking that very few F Open shooters would have ever shot a twenty shot string in Australia? Mike, Even the old timers from the 303 days refer to 20 shot shoots...

One of my strategies when tired on long trips is to stay close to other vehicles and keep pace with them, even to the extent of getting competitive. It keeps you from getting bored, and if the pace is quick, a little bit of adrenalin helps you stay alert.

Sungazer, I don't know how long you've been familiar with F-Class shooting but I think your criticism is unfair. There has been a steady evolution in our sport over the last 20 years. Over that time we've had the introduction of all 3 F-Class disciplines, and several major rules reviews. Contrary to...

I had a "situation" of dozing off and leaving the road at 100kmph about 10 years ago. I ended up on the grass in the middle of a freeway. That was due to a cold and flu tablet that makes you drowzy. What I did learn is the danger of using cruise control in these situations - at least in no...

Encouraging shooters who turn up with hunting rifles is good, but its often hard to give them good value for their membership. Firstly you usually can't offer them a path to a higher level of competition (e.g. Pennant teams and OPMs), and secondly many clubs regularly shoot distances where most hunt...

In case anyone has doubts, this event will not be washed out. If there is heavy rain on Sunday, we have a roof over the mound, and electronic targets, so no competitor marking! So if you're able to get here, we'll be here!

In case anyone has doubts, this event will not be washed out. If there is heavy rain on Saturday afternoon, the range will be changed to 1000yd, which has a roof over the mound, and electronic targets, so no competitor marking! So if you're able to get here, we'll be here!

Welcome aboard Savage. There is a huge amount of knowledge shared here. Use Search to look for subjects of interest, or just ask on the appropriate forum. 7mm Rem mags have been used by a few in F-Open, so you may get some advice for reloading. You'll need to run light loads on some ranges because o...

Congrats to all =D> =D> =D> . All my internet connections were disabled over the weekend so wasn't able to keep up with things. The scores indicate to me a typical Canberra Queens - a few locals know the peculiarities of the conditions, and everyone else is at its mercy. Its good to see Bob Kinnear ...

Phil, You've highlighted something that I for one had never considered. As you say F-Class shooters can dress much lighter. For that reason it may be better to look at F-Class only events for warmer times and places, and also think carefully about 2 vs 3 per target, and consider reducing the number ...
